With images of clinicians from all over the world serving a wide variety of people, the film shows: the history and development of art therapy, what art therapists do to help people to create and reflect, the major theoretical approaches, the expansion of the discipline, and some of the reasons art therapy has grown so rapidly. Through viewing those directly involved in the process, the viewer will see how and why art therapy is so very powerful.     http://www.expressivemedia.org/f1.html

This video tells stories of how some older Americans stay vital through creating, and how some others were helped through art. It demonstrates the many ways in which art therapy can enrich and give meaning to the later years; and can affirm the wisdom and self-awareness that comes to those who have lived a full life, and have developed the capacity to manage a multitude of challenges. Art therapy can also help older adults cope with the inevitable psychological problems that accompany aging, especially when illness and disability have taken their toll.
"I recommend this work to [all] who participate in the treatment of older adults"  Irene Jakab, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Psychiatry, Harvard
